heist

Hell, remember the heist that the film starts with?

On getting a job they immediately started planning for the next one, like a heist.

In any normal currency - the heist of a millennium.

It does, however, remind me of the old Range Rover commercial talking about the great London bank heist.

It isn't some silly two dimensional hollywood'ish heist thing where the good guys and the bad guys are clearly delineated.

I work in InfoSec and it is mind-boggling to see the sophistication levels of some of the Bitcoin heists, like this BGP incident.

If you look at the structure of the film you can see Nolan using the opening and closing heist sequences as allegorical bookends to demonstrate Cobb's character development.

I'm troubled by the persistent societal trend of people being afraid to reveal to others that they believe a malicious event was an inside job. I suspect many of us consider it possible that the heist was organized by Mark Karpeles himself and that the supposed transaction malleability crisis was completely fabricated.

Perhaps the words "steals" and "heist" are not the best choice given the man won the money playing cards and the claims that he must therefore have been using a second person to feed him information taken from video feeds is presented without any evidence.

You have to talk to someone, get them on your side, and then scam them?I could maybe imagine myself in an alternate universe doing something like this, perhaps enjoying a sort of "heist" feeling like when you're playing poker and no one's aware that you're totally prepared to take the table.

Watt once had a lucrative Wall Street career coding software \n for real-time stock-trading systems until he wrote a packet-\n sniffing program for a long-time friend and found himself \n embroiled in a multi-million-dollar bank card heist that \n netted him a two-year prison term.\n\nI love how puff-pieces always trivialize the things that would run counter to their narrative.
